I squeezed in an easy 4.1 mile run in Farmington during a very busy day yesterday (Saturday). I took it easy because I wanted to be fresh for the St. Patrick's Day 5K in South Boston on Sunday. I had to fit the run in between making flyers for the St. Pat's run (see below), going to Rockville to watch Shea sing in the Eastern Regional Music Festival (please indulge a proud Dad moment) and driving up to Boston to be ready for the parade the next day.
I enjoyed taking the run at a very comfortable pace. I completed miles 274-277 which were sponsored by Cheryl Renaud Dowd's oldest son. This fine young man's name was not provided, so I'll ask Cheryle to pass along my thanks for his generosity.
I also received a nice email from Len Gutman who sponsored 6 more miles. Len sponsored 6 miles (144-149) back in late January and promised to walk/run 6 miles around Central Park's perimeter in honor of Chase. Len overcame a sinus infection and throngs of St. Patrick's Day revelers on Saturday to get his 6 miles in. Len is participating in the Run for Families next week in Hartford as well. Thanks's Len! Len's new set of 6 miles will be numbers 509-511 and 812-814 (5/9 and 8/12 being his son's birthdays). He has promised to walk/run another 6 miles for Chase, and we all hope Len is feeling 100% and the streets are a tad quieter than they were yesterday.
